@idle,

Your expression evaluator is really useful - thank you for posting it.

I noticed that the "<-" (backspace?) key on the example calculator wasn't implemented, so I added these two lines to the end of "Select evg" statement: Case #BBack
strinput = Left(strinput, Len(strinput) - 1) ; ebs

@threeslider,

This is very cool - thanks for posting it!

I made some changes to simplify calculations in the drawing loop and eliminate the need for the
LeftDelta.f() and RightDelta.f() arrays.

Everything seems to work as expected, but let me know if there are any mistakes.

Can the moderator remove this???

All of the links except the second one are working.

Only because I'm extremely lazy (apologies to AZJIO): Macro IIF(_expr, _truepart, _falsepart)
IIFX(Bool(_expr), _truepart, _falsepart)
EndMacro

Procedure.s IIFX(expr, truepart.s, falsepart.s)
If expr
ProcedureReturn truepart

ProcedureReturn falsepart

Thanks for your fast reply.

I did try #EM_GETPASSWORDCHAR and guess what it returns? '*' :D

I did find a way to cheat by changing the font to Wingdings and using one of the black dot characters in that font, then switching back to the default font when showing the actual password characters. It ...

@Axolotl,

Thank you! Your tip about about #EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR is exactly what I need.

One question - do you know how I can do this in an ancient ASCII (not UNICODE) executable?
I would have thought that passing the correct value as wParam should be all that's required, but I can't get it to work ...

I'm glad that miso's solution worked, but I don't think it's because of the semicolon at the end of the SQL statement.
I use SQLite extensively without the trailing semicolon and it works fine.

I think the reason miso's code worked is that he used double quotes (") around the SQL statement, which ...

Thank you - this is really clever!

As you said, it doesn't enforce the use of the correct type, but it makes your code much more self-documenting.
It makes the C programmer in me very happy!

Is it possible to open an existing excel file to continue writing in it using Excelwriter.pb?

No - it can only create a new Excel file and write to it. It doesn't have any code to open an existing file.

Not official, but how about

Waiting anxiously...

Hi @Zapman,

Thanks for the code update and the arrow options. I noticed one problem:

When either of the "show arrows" options are selected, clicking on the same column header alternates between ascending and descending sort, as expected.

However, if "don't show arrows" is selected, the first ...

In the US, GetLocaleInfo_() returns "M/d/yyyy" on my PC.

When your code reformats that it yields "%m/%d/%yyyy" instead of "%mm/%dd/%yyyy", so the dates are not displayed correctly.

Thank you for pointing them out.
